　　山西保德县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础题

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self­confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人，为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼，让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。

　　1．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

　　A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

　　B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.

　　C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.

　　D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.

　　答案：D。细节判断题。根据第一个段落的最后一句话， 先排除C的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。

　　2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?

　　A．She doesn't treat others politely.

　　B．She likes to make others surprised.

　　C．Others don't understand what she dose.

　　D．Others try to help her by offering her food.

　　答案：C。细节判断题。从本段的情节来看，选项A，D都相差甚远；而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项B说的喜欢出奇，故排除B。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by...”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。

　　3．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．Good health.

　　B．Firm belief.

　　C．A strong power.

　　D．A regular habit.

　　答案：B。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息来看，这么多年，这么坚持，这么享受，而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项B最符合语境。

　　4．What can we learn about the author from the text?

　　A．She acts in a strange way.

　　B．She wants to look different from others.

　　C．She aims to develop a good body shape.

　　D．She has difficulty getting along with others.

　　答案：C。理解判断题。文章的最后一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”，从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。The women’s college had a very small car park, and because several of the teachers and students, and many of the students’ boyfriends, had cars, it was often difficult to find a place to park. The head of the college, Miss Baker, had a special place in the car park for her own small car. There were white lines around it, and it had a small blackboard saying, “Reserved for Head of College.”        One evening when Miss Baker got back to the college a few minutes before the time when all the students should be in, she found another car in her parking place. There were two persons in it, one of her girl students and a young man. Miss Baker knew that the young man would have to leave very soon,  so she decided to ask him to move his car a bit, so that she could park hers in the proper place for the night  before going to bed.         As the young man’s car was close to the railing (栅栏), Miss Baker had to drive up beside it on the other side, where the girl was sitting. She came up on this side,  opened her own window and tapped her horn (喇叭) lightly to draw attention to the fact that she was there. The girl, who had her head on the boy’s shoulder, looked round in surprise. She was even more surprised when she heard Miss Baker say, “Excuse me, but may I change places with you?”

　　2016高考训练题----阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Holidays are really important.

　　Many of us have childhood memories of summer holidays when we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways. Hut holidays are expensive and, for those families on low salaries or living on

　　Benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the

　　cheapest holidays require travel other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed (承诺) to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safe guiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed. In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real

　　"down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning. We

　　acknowledge

　　that

　　this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must

　　be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

　　28、 What does the text mainly talk about?

　　A、 The importance of the holiday.

　　B、 The holiday reduction plan.

　　C、 The balance of holidays and school days.

　　D、 The necessity of cutting down the long holiday.

　　29、 The underlined word“they” in the

　　second paragraph refers to

　　A. holidays

　　B、families

　　C、salaries

　　D、 benefits

　　30、The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students

　　A、obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

　　B、 get a chance to spend 8 weeks a term with teachers in school

　　C、 benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

　　D、 have more than 5 weeks of school days to receive free school meals

　　31、It can be inferred from the text that

　　A、 working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

　　B、 some school staff may say " No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

　　C、 the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”

　　D、 the suggested plans for a five term school year can hardly be carried out

　　In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”, John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.

　　Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.

　　Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.

　　There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.

　　By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.

　　64. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?

　　A. They want to show their superiority.

　　B. They find specialty important to meals.

　　C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.

　　D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.

　　65. What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

　　A. Understanding.B. Increase.

　　C. Difference.D. Study.

　　66. The author of the passage argues that ________.

　　A. absolute needs have no limits

　　B. demands for quality are not insatiable

　　C. human desires influence ideas of quality

　　D. relative needs decide most of our spending

　　“Everyone is entitled（有权） to their opinion" is a remark commonly heard in our society. We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish.

　　Children learn this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase ‘‘well, it's just my opinion" can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification（正当的理由） for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo（禁忌）around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else.

　　This can make things hard for the teacher. We want to promote tolerance and respect in our classrooms and give young people a sense: this is how one ought to behave. Yet, we are also seeking to develop reasoning and critical thinking. To some extent, there is an idea that people's views carry equal weight because all individuals ought to be treated equally. Treating people　equally is different from treating what they say with equal weight, though. We need to make clear to students that the right to one's opinions does not ignore the need to support them with argument when called to do so.

　　Justification is the signal difference between opinion and argument. Opinions are stated;　arguments are advanced. Opinions are given; arguments are proposed. When we ask a student to explain themselves, we are asking them to give us something that will lend evidence to what they have said. We are asking them to convince us, to persuade us, to show us the reasonableness of what it is they are saying.

　　64. According to Paragraph 2, if you offer a get-out clause, you may.

　　A. fall into a difficult situationB. escape being questioned

　　C. raise your social positionD. have to further explain your opinion

　　65. The teacher may find it hard to　.

　　A. put up a brick wall to avoid giving acceptable reasons

　　B. challenge the opinions of others to have a deep effect on them

　　C. encourage tolerance and respect while developing reasoning and critical thinking

　　D. tell the differences between opinion and argument

　　66. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to .

　　A. studentsB. teachersC. needsD. opinions

　　67. What would be the best title for this passage?

　　A. Everyone is entitled to their opinion

　　B. Never bother with the rights of others

　　C. “It's just my opinion" isn't good enough

　　D. Treat what people say equally
